Few hours rest after: At the most a day after the injection. You should be able to resume work ( full duty ) the very next day.

Neck Injection: I would defer to the physician doing your injection for this recommendation. Depending on where the injection is done, what medication is injected, and what you pre- and post-injection symptoms are like will most likely determine what is recommended.
